Topping up your oil & trimming your wick November 2025
As we rapidly approach the end of another year we can look back upon 2025 and be reminded of the accuracy and reliability of the Bible as we see the ongoing development and fulfilment of Bible Prophecy which brings strength and deepens our faith in the Word of God while building a sense of anticipation and expectation that our glorious eternal future is drawing near. I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe. John 14:29 When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near. Luke 21:28
With the continuing relentless rise of Anti-Semitism we have seen many more Jewish people being driven back to Israel, causing a new wave of people making Aliyah [that is returning home to Israel]. This is a further fulfilment of Jer 16:16 “For I will restore them to the land I gave to their forefathers. But now I will send for many fishermen, declares the Lord, and they will catch them. After that I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them down on every mountain and hill, and from the crevices of the rocks. In 2024, there were 31,000 Jews making Aliyah from approximately 100 countries and this momentum has continued throughout 2025.
JERUSALEM – it is a name which stirs a wide spectrum of emotions and a quagmire of international disagreement, a reminder of Zechariah 12:3 And in that day, I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people. There continues to be growing tension surrounding Israel’s capital, including international disputes over its sovereignty with some proponents of a two-state solution suggesting the city be split in two with East Jerusalem being given to the Palestinians. Hamas named its 7 October 2023 barbaric, cruel and evil terrorist attack on Israel,
‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’ in reference to the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. In doing so, the Islamists once again focused global attention on the Holy City.
Speaking of the Last Days, Jesus said; For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect, if that were possible. Math 24:24 Deception is widespread and has many facets to it. With advancements in AI, ChatGPT and Deepfake Technology, distinguishing truth from lies is increasingly difficult. AI is also redefining death, memory and immortality through after death services. A documentary called “Meeting You” showed a mother reunited with her daughter through virtual reality. Using advanced digital imaging and voice technology, the mother was able to see and talk to her dead daughter as if she were really there.
We see a continuing falling away from the truth within the Church another prophetic sign of the end Times. The Spirit clearly says that in latter times some will abandon the faith, and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 1 Tim 4:1 This is not just a general drifting away from the ‘Truth’ it is a turning away from sound doctrine, a rejection of biblical authority, and the love of truth being replaced for what is convenient and culturally acceptable. Churches that once held firm to the Word of God are embracing teachings that contradict Scripture. Movements promoting universalism, moral relativism, and progressive Christianity are spreading rapidly. We see churches approving and promoting practices and beliefs that are clearly condemned by Scripture. For example, the LGBTIQ plus movement and all it embraces, while some Churches have developed liturgies to mark a person’s gender transition, done in the name of love and inclusiveness. People standing up for truth and righteousness continue to be silenced. It was Charlie Kirk who said before being murdered for his stand on God’s Truth, I want to be remembered for courage, for my faith, the most important thing in my life is my faith.
We must all continue to Contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints.
Jude 3
Another sign of falling away or apostasy is the growing ecumenical movement, which seeks to unite all religions under a banner of peace and tolerance. While unity sounds noble, true unity must be grounded in God’s Truth. The push for interfaith harmony often requires compromise on key doctrines such as the exclusivity of Christ. For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 2 Tim 4:3
Technology is fast creating a system where no one can buy or sell without bng tracked. Cashless payments and digital ID systems eliminate economic privacy. Central Bank Digital Currencies allow for direct government control over individual spending. AI-driven financial tracking ensures compliance - or exclusion, which are all preparing the way for Rev 13:17 ..so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. Then there is the ongoing push for a one world government, which will lead to the emergence of a global leader, the coming antichrist.
The world is changing quickly, but remember, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever [Heb 13:8]. Ultimately what continues to unfold on the global scene is pointing us to Jesus and the establishment of His coming Kingdom over this earth. For the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy. Rev 19:10 As we once again come to celebrate the birth of Jesus, it is a reminder God is sovereign over this world, He is working out His plans and purposes. There is coming a time when the prophecy of Isaiah, which spoke of Messiah, the promised seed, from the line of David will find its complete fulfilment at the Second Coming of Jesus.
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this. Isaiah 9:6-7 Maranatha! Come Lord Jesus!
